The low bid was made by Woodland Contractors, and on Monday night, the board awarded the project to Woodland and signed the agreements for them to complete the job.

Also on Monday night, the board was presented three bids regarding the installation of a hot water heater in the garage on Washington Avenue.

The project for the hot water heater was awarded to Karl L. Keath Inc. Their bid was $4,180.

Remaining on the topic of the Washington Avenue garage, the board approved on Monday night the release of funds to make the township’s final payment to Woodland Contractors for their work done on the garage in the amount of $17,975.90.
